    Do well less tips need blending?

    One of the reasons I have been staying away from using tips is because of the time taken to blend. I have been sculpturing nails but at the moment I am not happy with the amount of powder i am using (too much) or the shape (too much filing needed for the length and the shape, usually too wide)...

    Does anybody know if there is an offer for subscribing to Scratch at the moment?

    My subscription ran out a couple of months ago and I want to re-subscribe. They usually advertise an offer in the magazine for subscribing, so I was interested in getting this too. Does anybody know what it is? If you do could you please give me the number and any code to quote. Thank you.

    I've just qualified level 3 nail services and even though I can do a set in the recommeded time, I feel i have a lot of filing to get the right shape. I seem to put the smile on to thick at the sides (ears). I think I do this thinking if it is to thin the structure wont be strong. Because it...

    How many of you use a colour blend.

    How many use a colour blend and on how many clients. I'm wondering is it ok to use it for a lot of clients because it would cover imperfections and also to extend the nail bed.

    A question about spraying twice but I can't fit the full question on. Please look.

    Do you spray the whole body once and then repeat the process or do you spray one area and then go over that before moving onto the next. I just wondered if there is any way to not have the client moving around so much. I was taught to spray once all over and then repeat. Also if you do...

    How do you store your tanning solution at the end of a session?

    After tanning and if you have a bit left in the tank, what do you do with it? It is early days for me so I have poured it back into the big bottle and then flushed out my hvlp with warm water. Is this right? Is there an easier way than pouring it back into the bottle each time?

    How much lift do you get from client to client? does anyone get 100% no lift?

    I wondered because I've noticed that when doing clients I may get one come back with no lift and then the next client will come back and her nails will look disgusting. I know I put on a decent set of nails and am thorough with my prep. I had a teen come back for infills last week and they...

    Insure a bond by youngnails - what does it do?

    I have just got some products from Youngs after hearing all the positive threads about it. I got Powders, monomer, insure a bond and Proteinbond. I thought the insure a bond was a dehydrater but on doing more research the Swipe product is the dehydrator which I didn't order! So I have also...

    Who uses a flat brush for sculpting. Just watched Nailzoo video. Is it easier?

    As I have said I have just watched the nailzoo vid and it looks easier to get the side walls straight. At the moment I use a ezflow oval 508. I like it but I am not ruling out trying a different brush for an easier application. Take a look if you haven't been on the Nailzoo site, it also...
